Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
Toston, MT (ZIP 59643) sits in Broadwater County within the Helena metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 7.9%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 2 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $22,815. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $58,775 per tax return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $45,076 per worker, roughly 31% below the US average. BLS LAUS reports county unemployment of just 2.5% (2024), well below the ~4.0% US average and consistent with a tight local labor market. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 19th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was straight-line winds-related (SEVERE WINTER STORM AND STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS, 2026). Annual average temperature is just 44.9°F per NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals — a notably cold-weather climate. Montana levies a flat state income tax (top rate 5.90%); a household at the local median AGI of $58,775 would pay roughly $2,081/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 264 residents (121 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $32,853, fair market rent of $1,780 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $500,964, up 3.6% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

What these numbers say together
Toston, MT (ZIP 59643) sits in Broadwater County within the Helena metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 7.9%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 2 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $22,815. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $58,775 per tax return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $45,076 per worker, roughly 31% below the US average. BLS LAUS reports county unemployment of just 2.5% (2024), well below the ~4.0% US average and consistent with a tight local labor market.

IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 264 residents (121 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over.

Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 22.4%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
